    Competitive Edge

    Jedrnurse replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Thanks. Yeah, I'm certified. While some college certificates look interesting, I'm looking at a time window (both for moving and day-to-day time constraints) that would make grad courses not a viable...

    Test to Stay

    Jedrnurse replied to SmallStateSchoolNurse's topic in School

    Do they then get a TUMS....?? But seriously, the inconsistency on BinaxNow is frustrating. The literature states that antigen test are most accurate when a person is symptomatic. BUT, we can't...

    Quitting without notice?

    Jedrnurse replied to Ovarychiever's topic in General Nursing

    Some job applications have attestations asking if you have ever been terminated from past positions, but I've never seen anything regarding this issue. I suppose if the question came up and you lied...

    LTC DON claims she cannot work the floor due to regulation

    Jedrnurse replied to KSinMT's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to step out on a limb and say that the DON can ALWAYS work on the floor but they can't be counted in the ratios, at least per this citation. That would be a big difference from "cannot...

    Jedrnurse replied to readytoquit's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, you're probably better off leaving. I doubt that your place is going to change their policy any time soon. (Trouble is, other places may not be much better.) On the other hand, a...

    Quitting without notice?

    Jedrnurse replied to Ovarychiever's topic in General Nursing

    Quit without notice only as a last resort. You never know when it'll come back to bite you. Even if you don't apply to the same system again, things are only a couple of degrees of separation away...

    Jedrnurse replied to SmallStateSchoolNurse's topic in School

    Hi. I'm finishing up (tomorrow) my last day of Test and Stay for my school's third grade. We had a positive pool and identified the positive student the next day with reflex testing. We use...

    Leading from Behind
